C syntax: Standards, Type system & Control flow

C syntax is the form that text must have in order to be C programming language code. The language syntax rules are designed to allow for code that is terse, has a close relationship with the resulting object code, and yet provides relatively high-level data abstraction. C was the first widely successful high-level language for portable operating-system…
